Australian Radioactive Material Leaking Into The Pacific

The psychopaths that run the Liberal and Labor Parties continue to support uranium exports to any signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, even if Australian radioactive material ends-up in the ocean. At the same time FSC-Australia is diligently ticking-off TEPCO-owned eucalyptus trees from Tasmania with 'Controlled Wood' certification to help bankrupt company Gunns and the hopelessly incompetent Japanese nuclear power generator.

(NaturalNews) After a 29-month
cover-up, the Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) is now calling for
international help and has all but admitted Fukushima's radiation
leaks are spiraling out of control. In addition to the leaking water
storage units that are unleashing hundreds of tons of radioactive
water each day, Tepco now says 50% of its contaminated water
filtration capability has been taken offline due to corrosion.
The
result is that radiation leaks are escalating out of control and
attempted remediation efforts are faltering. This is in addition to
the fact the Japanese government's attempted
brainwashing propaganda campaign has also been exposed. It
attempted to convince people that if they drank beer or smiled, they
would be immune to radiation poisoning. (Yes, this is how desperate
they've become...)
From day one, the Fukushima fiasco has been
all about denial: Deny the leaks, shut off the radiation sensors,
black out the news and fudge the science. Yet more than two years
later, the denials are colliding with the laws of physics, and
Tepco's cover stories are increasingly being blown wide open.
As
Businessweek.com
now reports, Japan seems to have no practical interest in solving
this problem:Russia's nuclear company, Rosatom, of which
Rosenergoatom is a unit, sent Japan a 5 kilogram (11 pound) sample of
an absorbent that could be used at Fukushima
almost three years ago, Asmolov said. It also formed working groups
ready to help Japan on health effect assessment, decontamination, and
fuel management, among others, Asmolov said. The assistance was never
used, he said.

That's because for Tepco to welcome any
assistance, it would first have to admit it has a problem. And that's
unacceptable in a business culture where egos run rampant and the
idea of taking responsibility for your actions is considered
abhorrent.
To save their own careers, Tepco experts would
gladly sacrifice the health of millions of Japanese citizens.

27 families file suit against TEPCO

The problem with denial in the face of a world-class radiation
disaster is that sooner or later the body bags start to pile up.
Now, 74 people from 27 families are filing suit in the Osaka District
Court, seeking 15 million Yen each for psychological and physical
damage. (And they are the lucky ones who are still living.)
As
Japan
Times reports:The group will argue that Tepco should
have taken stronger measures to protect the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear
plant from earthquakes and tsunami after the government's
Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion warned in 2002 that
there was a 20 percent chance of a magnitude 8 or so quake occurring
in the Japan Trench in the Pacific Ocean within 30 years.

Fishing ban reinstated

Part of the Fukushima denial was the claim that fish were somehow
not being irradiated by the numerous leaks of highly radioactive
water. This cover-up was further enforced by lifting a fishing ban
that had been announced in the days following the original Fukushima
meltdown event in 2011.
Now that fishing ban has been
reinstated. Australian reporter Mark Willacy visited the fishermen to
get their reaction to the news, and what
he reported sounds right in line with what we're seeing, too:[The
fishermen] are very angry. They've obviously believed that Tepco has
been lying to them for weeks, if not months. You know, they seem to
suggest that that the cover-ups get worse... They believe Tepco's
probably sitting on more secrets that they don't want anyone to know
about. So there's a feeling that Tepco just cannot be trusted and
that these fisherman probably don't really feel like they have a
future anymore.
Tepco lying? Say it isn't so!

Zeolites to the rescue?

In desperation, Tepco is now trying to figure out how to stop
thousands of tons of radioactive water from leaking into groundwater
supplies (and ultimately into the ocean).
Those ideas,
according to CTV News in Canada, include things like "freezing"
the soil around the leak, creating an underground ice barrier that
would require ongoing freezing, presumably for hundreds of thousands
of years. You'd probably need to build another nuclear power plant to
power the freeze cores, come to think of it.
Another idea, put
forth by Arnie Gundersen, arguably the most sane observer in all
this, involves digging a 2-meter-wide trench all the way down to
bedrock, then filling the trench with zeolites which
scientists now reluctantly admit trap radioactive isotopes. Note
carefully that when people talk about consuming zeolites as a detox
liquid, many modern-day doctors call it "quackery." But
when push comes to shove, even they have to admit zeolites absorb
radioactive elements. (You can't argue with the laws of physics.
Zeolites work!)

Tepco answers to no one

Tepco "...does not directly answer to any regulatory bodies,
including the country's nuclear watchdog," reports CTV. Sounds a
lot like Big Pharma and the FDA, doesn't it? Industry is running the
regulators.
Gunderson goes on to explain in that same CTV
article:The Japanese government under Abe doesn't want to
admit (to the cost) because they are trying to restart a nuclear
energy program and the last thing they need to do is tell the
Japanese people that 'oh by the way, you're on the hook for another
half trillion dollars.'
The article goes on to reveal
something rather startling:Some experts believe some of
the radioactive material from the damaged core has moved into the
earth. The recent spike in radiation levels in the water may
therefore be coming from groundwater coming into contact with the
melted cores.

Whack-a-Mole!

Finally acknowledging over two years of
utter bureaucratic failure and delusional propaganda, the Japanese
government is now taking over the Fukushima cleanup effort. Today,
Trade Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told the international press, "We've
allowed Tokyo Electric to deal with the contaminated water situation
on its own and they've essentially turned it into a game of
'Whack-a-Mole,'" reports Business
Week

What's wrong with Whack-a-Mole? It's the wrong game,
of course, Tepco would prefer we all played Dance Dance Revolution
(DDR) instead so that everyone hops around like maniacs to avoid all
the radiation.
Or better yet, how about the game of
Hide-and-Seek? Where did all the radiation go? It's hiding! Oh,
that's so much better, thank you!
"From now on, the
government will move to the forefront," uttered Motegi, not
realizing he was paraphrasing the anti-government derogatory phrase
used in the USA: "We're from the government, and we're here to
help."
Because when industry reaches a point of total
bureaucratic failure resulting in a global disaster that threatens
all life on the planet, everybody knows the obvious solution is to
put the government in charge!
The government, you see,
can simply pass a new law that says radiation is no longer considered
dangerous. In an instant, the entire problem is solved and Japan
saves hundreds of billions of dollars in cleanup costs. After all, if
Obama can declare America's jobs disaster to be a "success,"
and if doctors can declare methyl mercury injected into children a
"vaccine treatment," then why not allow the Japanese
government to declare Fukushima solved?
Better yet, Japan
should turn Fukushima into a cancer radiotherapy clinic where
Americans can receive "radiation treatments" for cancer,
because we all know that radiation prevents cancer, right? That's
what the cancer clinics tell us, anyway.
Fukushima can become
the world's newest medical tourism hot spot for cancer
patients. Walk in with cancer and you'll walk out with so many other
symptoms that you won't even notice the cancer anymore! That's the
miracle of modern medical science. Sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline, of
course.
"We have to stop calling these events nuclear
disasters," I'd imagine a Japanese government official uttering
any day now. "They are actually nuclear opportunities for job
creation," he'll probably explain.
